Presenter asks council for about $10,000 to shore up summer recreation field
Summary
Patrick Hunters asked the council to use part of a $150,000 youth activities set‑aside to fund roughly $10,000 in repairs to lights, infield, dugouts and weed control for the town’s softball field, and councilors asked for detailed cost estimates before the next meeting.
Patrick Hunters, introduced by the chair as a presenter on the summer recreation request, asked the council to consider a short‑term allocation to repair and maintain the town’s existing ball field while longer‑term field plans continue. "About $10,000 would be my guess," Hunters said when asked for a cost estimate.
Council members said they want a detailed plan and itemized costs before committing funds and suggested taking the amount from the $150,000 youth‑activities account currently set aside. The chair and other councilors agreed Hunters should bring specific numbers within two weeks so staff can consider reallocating funds prior to the next budget reading. No formal appropriation was made at this meeting; the council directed follow‑up.
